>>936820792Allah says in Surah Luqman (interpretation of the meaning):
โAnd of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allahโฆโ [Luqman 31:6]
The scholar of the ummah, Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: this means singing . Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: this means playing the drum (tabl). (Tafsir al-Tabari, 21/40)
Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: this ayah was revealed concerning singing and musical instruments (lit. woodwind instruments). (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 3/451)
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
โAmong my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zina, silk, alcohol and musical instrumentsโฆโ (Narrated by al-Bukhari taโliqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsul by al-Tabarani and al-Bayhaqi. See al-Silsilah al-Sahihah by al-Albani, 91)
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is a sahih hadith narrated by al-Bukhari in his Saheeh, where he quoted it as evidence and stated that it is muโallaq and majzum. He said: Chapter on what was narrated concerning those who permit alcohol and call it by another name.
This hadith indicates in two ways that musical instruments and enjoyment of listening to music are haram.
